Chapter 33: Surrender

Magneto took the stack of photos from the camera, and the depths of his eyes were cold.

He let out a breath of turbidity, calmed down, raised his eyes, and lifted his cuffs to face the world.

His thin, pine-like arm was tattooed with a line of numeric code.

168-9527

"This line of numbers is a gift from Auschwitz." Magneto said indifferently: "The Nazis put my parents in the gas chamber and assigned me and other teenagers to take on the task of cleaning up the bodies. ”

"Every day, I have to wear isolation gowns, drag the bodies of my compatriots out of the gas chambers, pile them together, pick out gold teeth, gold rings, gold watches, and even cut off hair and remove fat."

"I hate the Nazis, and this hatred is a hatred that goes deep into the marrow." Magneto lowered his cuffs and said indifferently: "However, in the degree of extermination of humanity, William Stryker went further than the Nazis. ”

He pulled one out of the thick stack of files and whispered, "Experiment Log 51A-85-B." ”

"Among the fifth batch of mutant children bred through artificial insemination, a girl codenamed Lilith caught our attention. She was born an Alpha-class mutant and showed the potential to advance to an Omega-class mutant. ”

"Her ability, according to the prediction, should be refined by the human body."

"The proportion of elements in the human body is: 65% oxygen, 18% carbon, 10% hydrogen, 3% nitrogen, 1.5% calcium, 1% phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, magnesium, iron, etc. Lilith, on the other hand, is able to rewrite the proportions of other people's body elements through skin-to-skin contact, and even piece two people together into one. ”

"This kind of patchwork looks extremely strange from the outside, the two people who are spliced together will have a certain degree of blood loss, shock, and organ failure due to overlapping organs, but they can still remain immortal in the form of conjoined people."

"If both are mutants, the combiote after refining can cast both abilities at the same time, see Experiment Log 51A-85-C for details."

"If there is a mutant between the two splices, the probability of splicing failure will be greatly reduced, and the appearance of the splicing will be closer to normal, see Experiment Log 51A-85-D for details."

"If the two people who are spliced are the old and the young, regardless of which one is a mutant, the appearance of the symbiote will tend to be the same, and the lifespan will be significantly extended.

In other words, Lilith's human body can give new life to the decrepit. ”

"The superiors were very interested in this kind of project, and after receiving instructions, we started a project about refining people into life extensions."

"We have urgently nurtured hundreds of new mutant babies and have 'enlisted' a group of elderly inmates serving life sentences in prisons across the country."

"These ordinary criminals, under Lilith's ability, will be combined with newborn mutant babies, and the synthesis results are quite gratifying."

"The limbs of mutant babies will parasitize the inside of the abdominal cavity of ordinary people in the form of polyps, and this parasitism is benign - mutant babies are like benign tumors, never grow up, and have no will of their own. While extending the life of the synth subject, it also gives him the ability to use mutant abilities. ”

"On the basis of this discovery, we conducted hundreds of controlled experiments, and each pair of samples was significantly younger, and the safety of human refining surgery can be basically guaranteed."

"This invention is cross-century, for the first time that mankind can truly defeat death, as long as a steady stream of mutant babies is provided for refining, all mankind can obtain the right to prolong life."

"But at the same time, Lilith, the owner of the human refining ability, is not in good condition, and malignant tumors gradually began to spread in her body, and after collection and analysis, the source of those tumor cells is the experimental material refined by those people - there may be some principles in the process of the ability that we still don't know."

"To save the project, we inseminated Lilith's mother, but none of the babies born were mutants with similar abilities."

"As a last resort, we inseminated Lilith."

"Even though Lilith's cancer was terminally ill, with the support of medical technology, we were able to keep the baby alive, and she was called Ava."

With Lilith's death, the experiment was delayed for a long time. We've been channeling Ava's abilities for a long time, hoping that she will awaken her mother's abilities soon. ”

"Until adulthood, Ava did not show any potential ability attributes, she was subjected to artificial insemination, and the four children she gave birth to, Ava-1, Ava-2, Ava-3, and Ava-4 did not have relevant abilities."

"They are assessed as incapacitated and are waiting to be destroyed."

"Destroyed."

"The experiment failed, and the file was sealed."

"12.12.1997, William Stryker."

Magneto put down the file and said hoarsely, "This is just the tip of the iceberg of the X Weapon program. ”

"Over the past 30 years, William Stryker, who led the X-weapon program, has led his team to conduct a total of 368 experimental projects, resulting in 2,134 babies born through artificial insemination, and 3,180 records destroyed."

"Every year, the X-Weapon program receives funding from the Department of Defense and financial assistance from outside sources."

"Mutants with a wide variety of abilities have extremely high scientific research value, and they are useful both in the creation of super soldiers and in the field of medicine."

"In this name, William Stryker's X-weapon program has been given the green light, and the Gon princes who live high in Washington have turned a blind eye to the filth and even covered it up."

He paused for a moment of silence before he raised his eyes and said slowly: "I am a Jew, a mutant, a federal wanted criminal, a terrorist, a careerist, and a demon in the eyes of those I have hurt. ”

"But, I'm human."

"He is a person with the most basic bottom line."

Magneto raised his palm, and as the magnetic field turned, William Stryker, who was tied to barbed wire, slowly floated in front of the camera.

He tore off the cloth that was in William Stryker's mouth and whispered, "Is there anything else you want to say?" ”

A mouthful of long-brewing phlegm spat on Magneto's face, and William Stryker sneered.

"Since there isn't, forget it." Magneto didn't wipe the filth off his face, his fingers trembled slightly, and the wire that bound Stryker slowly pulled away, transforming into the shape of a steel knife in his hand, "The next scene may be a little bloody, please close your eyes for children under 13 years old." ”

William Stryker's eyes widened as he watched Magneto's steel blade fall rapidly.

Click.

Blood splattered, and heads fell to the ground.

Magneto, who was covered in blood, smiled gently at the camera, "People all over the world, I'm sorry to take up these twenty minutes of your time, and finally I want to announce one thing. ”

People all over the world held their breath and waited for his next words.

"I, Eric Lansell, surrender to the U.S. Judiciary."
